It uses a 16mm FlexCore™ foam core and a micro-textured T700 raw carbon fiber hitting surface, in a widebody 16 in × 8 in shape with a 5.5 in handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarlier Bantam paddles used a polymer honeycomb core; the Jolt moves to foam, which our catalog classifies as Gen 4 construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlexCore™ Foam Grid\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe center of the paddle is an EPP foam grid with a precision-scored pattern, surrounded by an EVA foam perimeter ring. Paddletek designed the grid to flex and compress on contact, which it says increases dwell time (how long the ball stays on the face) and helps generate spin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMicro-Textured T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hitting surface is Paddletek's PTK micro-textured T700 raw carbon fiber, a gritty textured face designed to generate spin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWidebody Shape\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 16 in long and 8 in wide, the widebody shape has a broader hitting surface than the Jolt Elongated (16.5 in × 7.5 in).
